A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a set of sensor nodes that are widely scattered in inaccessible areas. When deployed in large areas, WSNs generate a large volume of the data. Therefore, efficient methods are needed to process the data. One solution to minimize traffic on large-scale wire...
